It has been a long time since I've written any sort of fanficton so it may take me a few chapters to get back in the swing of writing one. Luckily, the first several are already done and first chapter awkwardness wares off. Hope you enjoy! I'll be posting the next few chapters within the next day or so to get things moving. And as you probably guessed, I own nothing except Leah.

"No," I turned back to the wolf pack. Milo and Flora, the alpha and beta, staring at the stranger next to me. Their focus undoubtedly on my emotions to figure out whether or not this man was a threat or not.

"Please, Miss. Collins. Hear me out," Simon Masrani continued gently, but I could hear the excitement in his voice. I sigh, reverting my attention once again to him. "As I understand you are about to lose your pack here."

I shake my head, "It's Leah and I'm not losing anything. They are about to be released into a sanctuary. To live on their own as they were intended to. Without us. What you're asking me, is insane. You realize that, don't you?"

"I believe you have the skills and qualifications to assist Jurassic World's most renowned trainer."

"You can't train velociraptors."

"At least come a take a look for yourself. Consider it an all-expense paid vacation. If your answer is still no you will be free to return home and you will never hear from me again."

I stare back into the eyes of what had been my life for the past five years. It had been an opportunity of a lifetime that I accepted immediately. But that dream was coming to an end as this would be the final wolf pack to be released for a few years, leaving me without a job. What could it hurt to at least visit the park?

"Okay."

Two Weeks Later

Central America was too hot. One hour on Isla Nublar and I was already sticky with sweat making my tank top start to stick to my skin and my hair was frizzing out of its tight braid. And there were way too many people. Adjusting the handle on my suitcase I kept up my pace with the excited tourists loading off the monorail.

"Did everything really need to be labeled with a brand name?" I mumble allowed. "I'm almost surprised the island isn't called Amazon Island of Dinosaurs."

"Right?"

I jump at the sudden voice next to me, eyes turning to be met with a very broad chest. A navy shirt stretched tight over defined and well-earned muscles. Tanned skin proved he spends most of his time outside in the hot sun, I suspect he probably works here.

Lost in my trance I jump again at him clearing his throat, "Usually it's the girl who has to say, 'hey my eyes are up here'." Feeling my face turn hot, my eyes quickly darting to the man's face. Oh great, it's even more attractive than his chest was. He had a rugged handsomeness, like he could easily be the hero in any situation. Green eyes filled with an air teasing and I could only imagine how much of a pill he could be if he got to know you. "There ya go, hi."

"Sorry, you caught me off guard."

He chuckled, "Sweetheart, you're on an island filled with the most dangerous creatures in the world. You best get yourself on guard."

"I haven't slept in almost twenty four hours, I'm not sure I can be on guard for anything."

"You must have just got here, huh."

"Fresh off the boat."

"You don't look like you're a tourist, you're not giving it the 'I can't believe I'm here look'." Man, even his voice is attractive. "New employee?"

"Possibly. Mr. Masrani invited me here to see the place for myself before saying no. Again."

He let out a low whistle, "Big man himself sought you out. You must be important then, he doesn't go out for just anyone."

"And how would you know that?"

He gestures dramatically to himself, "Can't you tell? I received the same rare treatment.

I roll my eyes, "If you're so special what do you do then?"

"Guess you'll have to find out if you decide to stick around. Later potentially new girl."

"How am I supposed to find you if I don't know your name?" I shout to his very fine retreating back.

"It's Owen. Owen Grady."

I waited until he's out of sight before finally taking a real breath. Not what I was expecting from my first interaction in the park, but if I had a choice in my tour guide, he'd be it. But since I was still positive that I was going to deny the job I put the very cute Jurassic World employee on the back burner.

Naturally, the innovation center was cleverly name the Samsung Innovation Center. It's a good thing all these dinosaurs already had names or we'd have the McDonalds Rex.

Masrani had said I'd have no trouble locating Ms. Dearing, describing her as a woman who was dressed more for a job in a perfume commercial rather than a dinosaur amusement park. It took all of two minutes before I spotted her.

"Ms. Dearing?"

I was given an overly fake smile, "Leah Collins I presume?"

"You presume correctly."

"Follow me, please." despite her being in heels I had to hurry to keep up. "Mr. Masrani spoke very highly of you on the phone. Shall we get the formalities and paperwork out of the way?"

I stop mid step, "Wait a minute, what paperwork?"

"Well you can't work in a place like this without signing several release papers."

"I think you must be mistaken. I haven't accepted the job. I actually told him no, but he wouldn't accept that as an answer without me seeing what my job would be first. So I won't be signing anything just yet. If that's why he sent you to get me then I'm sorry to waste your time."

By the expression on her face I most definitely wasted her time and this was a woman who didn't appreciate that. "That does explain why you were put in a hotel room. Well then I guess first thing in the morning you'll have to the Raptor Paddock and do just that. I do hope you can get along with the current trainer. He can be a bit...difficult." From the tone of her voice that was more of a personal opinion versus fact. "In your room you will find a set of keys on the table, the jeep in the garage with the corresponding number is yours for the duration of your stay. You may use it to explore the island and most importantly, visit your job site."

"Who do I ask for when I get there?"

"The trainers name is Owen Grady."
